Masterpiece . . .

It's so crazy to me 
How mistakes can be
A blessing in disguise
Lord, I'm so glad you're making me
A masterpiece (masterpiece)

Sometimes I don't believe in blessings in disguise.  You can take things at face value and not really understand the deeper meaning of things.  There are so many things that are crazy to me. Coincidences, planets aligning, call it what you want.  But there are too many of these types of things that I don't know how to explain them.  Sometimes you have to wait until some situation presents itself and then you realise why you made decisions - because they lead you to opportunities that you didn't foresee, but could feel was coming.

(Hit me!)
When you look at me
Do you see a work of art in the making?
Sketch of what I'll be
I wonder what you see in me
Like what do you think?
When my life is not a melody in the morning
And I feel off key yeah
Do you still believe in me?
Like a symphony, hey
You know how to make all things work together
Crazy how mistakes can be miracles in disguise

Sometimes we can't see what our true potential is.  We might doubt ourselves and listen to those little voices of doubt in our heads because we're afraid of success. You become afraid of achieving goals and dreams so you let doubt rule your life. Part of the problem may be the company we keep.  When you come across as too serious or too professional you get criticised for it.  You should never have to apologise for knowing who you are and what you have to achieve.  You have spent your entire life building towards this destiny and you couldn't escape the responsibility no matter how many diversions or distractions you indulge in.  At the end of the day, you always come back to how He makes all things work together.

That's why tonight I pray
Don't take your love away
Forever in your embrace
Without You I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and the sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece

How many times in your life have you ever been so convicted in what you're doing that you couldn't deny it?  You might go through life like a bull in a china shop, unknowingly crashing into everything without malice or wicked intention, but everyone is just so intent on believing otherwise.  This is why Your love is so important.  Without judgment and without pushing me away, I can never deny that if the world continues to disappoint you if the same people keep coming back to your door and use you (and you know full well, but you choose to believe that one day, they will really see your worth).  If you are the only constant person in their life to provide stability and care, you gotta wonder why that is.



When you look at me
Do I make you smile at what You're creating?
Working patiently with me
Appreciate that I am worth Your time
'Cause I wanna be, hey
Be the stone that You turn in to Your treasure
Crazy how mistakes can be miracles in disguise

If God has all the time in the world for you, why wouldn't you make time for Him?
I have never found anyone who gives me the same amount of love, unconditional love that I get from Him.  When the world sees you as something that can be thrown away, stay away from those people.  Why would you continue to show up where you are not appreciated or truly wanted.  Do people never let you forget the mistakes you have made?  If you have people in your life that try to keep you up and keep you strong, but you treat them badly, then don't expect good people in your life to stay.  Their energy would be better spent helping people who will eventually help themselves achieve their own goals.

That's why tonight I pray
Don't take your love away
Forever in your embrace
Without You I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and the sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece

After you get past and work past all of your emotions that you will let sit under your skin, it's time to snap out of the funk and get back to the things that you can control - what you do for yourself.  Banish any negative thoughts that people try to impose on you and make you question.  Their troubles, issues, and pain have nothing to do with you.  Remember, people only lash out at you because you just happen to be there. Eliminate your presence from the situation and where do you think the lashing goes then?  That's right.  They have to self-flagellate.  So don't be anybody's punching bag.  Instead remember that you are a masterpiece, even when you feel like a complete mess.

Uh now you know that you're a masterpiece 
You probably feel like a catastrophe
You in the mirror everyday saying "ugh" like Master P
Ain't really how it have to be
Now hold up (listen)
You acting totally different
You got a whole new position
You are the Ronnie Bobby Ricky whole New Edition
You think I'm kidding but hold up a minute
Don't compare yourself with none of them
You are one of one ain't no synonym
A Master Artist take a mess and make a masterpiece
And look at you, you been a gem (facts)
Shinin'

The thing with doubt is that it is not of God,  He deals in absolutes.  He knows what your path is and if it feels like you're lost and alone, He isn't too far away.  We need to comfortable in the uncomfortable because as long as we know that He has our back, that is what having faith is all about.  Trust completely in the knowledge that He knows what is best for you, He takes you to places where you get gracefully broken only so He can put you back together.  You might think that there is never a door to anywhere, but He truly understands the path that He has set in place for you that nobody on earth could try to obscure - even Satan.  That guy can only take control of our lives if we allow him access.

God take my heart forever it's Your
Make me Your masterpiece
Make me Your
Your masterpiece 

I hope that you remember how important you are.  I hope you remember that even though things feel like they are completely falling apart and that you are completely alone.  This phase will pass soon.  There are better things for you on the horizon.  Even though the world is in chaos at the moment with COVID-19, instead focus on what you can do with this mess and keep working quietly in the background to achieve your goals.  Reach out to people who need you the most, even if they don't know it yet.  Be thankful for the life you are given.  You only get one in this lifetime.  So shift your energy out of the mess that you think you are in, and celebrate how much God has made you His masterpiece. . .

God provides. . .

There's no more need to fight. . .  God provides, so why do I worry about my life When you come to my rescue a thousand times Every other voice it is a lie God provides It is easy to worry about your life.  It's what humans are built to do. We worry about so many things.  What people think of us.  How we act towards said people.  We worry about things that we cannot control, things we cannot hold.  We spend far too much time worrying about things that we shouldn't be worrying about.  When we think that nothing can come from anything, that's when God provides, above all else.  How many times have you been rescued?  Did you ask to be rescued?  Did you ask to be placed in those situations that required God to step in and save you?  Maybe yes.  Maybe no.  But one thing that I've come to know is that God has never lead me to a place that I couldn't get through, that I couldn't understand why I was lead there, that I di...

You look so much better when you. . .  I dedicate this song to recession Depression and unemployment This song's for you When you think about songs that have dedications at the beginning during the introduction, how does it contribute to the song?  I often think about how those dedications speak to my own situation.  We may all be going through some trials at the moment and nobody around us is none the wiser.  I've often spoken about it to friends when we do that usual - how are you?  The expected answer is - I'm good. But really we're not.  Why do we do that to ourselves?  We don't want to burden others with our problems or issues. Sometimes the flip side might be true and you have friends who dump their problems and issues onto you, but don't reciprocate.  I hope people get to know you and what you're about.  They need to see that they might be potentially ruining the friendship or connection by doing that. Today's a new day but th...

Closer. . .

I was cruising down the street with my head in the sky Going nowhere fast trying to stay high oh, oh Windows down my arms are waving Oh Lord I can't feel ma face no no, no no, aye, Sister please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free Brother please won't you sing for me Sing a song to set us free, free The original version of this song is upbeat. I prefer this acoustic version as it resonates more with me, something about it going deep down in my soul (or it could just be the piano accompaniment). We might think we are heading nowhere fast because we keep comparing ourselves to our peers, our contemporaries and the timeline that we set for ourselves to complete all of our dreams and goals. We forget that life happens and things outside of our control, start to take control - and this is where the real work begins within ourselves - whether we have the right support systems of brothers and sisters to sing us songs of freedom - what can we collectively do toge...
